While the Sony Xperia Z was the hot handset following its CES appearance, some of the buzz disappeared during the launch of the BlackBerry Z10, but that doesn't take one thing away from the waterproof, dustproof Xperia Z which set hearts a flutter with its 5 inch FHD screen and quad-core Snapdragon processor...

Yes we all know nokia can take a picture. Ashton Kutcher shows us that. But when is nokia going to realize that a they are making PHONES and are TRYING I repeat TRYING to compete in the smartPHONE game. All they ever do is make a camera that can make phone calls. As for their actual functionality they blow, Lumia series is a perfect example. They have to be the worst phones available. Yes they have a camera, but considering that's all they can do I'd rather go buy a real camera to take pictures. ZTE and Huewai make WAY better phones then Nokia. And Sony's Z and ZL model blow anything nokia has out of the water.

I am sorry but if you say the lumia 920 "blows", "lacks functionality", and that huawei and zte "make WAY better phones than nokia", then you are also trolling, and I am gonna eat your bait too (the irony).

I enjoy the hypocrisy of sony fanboys who on every other article regarding comparisons between competitors or just other competitors' devices like to harp on about how sony makes the best cameras on smartphones like its a major selling point of a smartphone.

Yet when another competitors' arguably superior product is brought into the limelight they switch gears and all of a sudden its who cares a bout camera performance.

FYI when most people buy a phone they always check the screen, battery life and camera quality. If you go into a phone store this week and stay a bit I can guarantee you will here a few consumers asking something along the lines of, "is the camera any good?". Also if cameras were such a none feature sony, htc, samsung, apple, etc; wouldn't make such a big deal about it all the time.

And yes I do a agree the the xperia Z blows anything nokia has out the water. I am not afraid to admit that. So why is it so hard for you to accept the fact that the 808 does take better pics than than the Z as well as the fact that 999 shots in one min is really not gonna be needed other than for bragging rights?

I really really like and respect (and want) Nokia 808, and completely believe that it is one best Camera Phone out there, but taking 1 picture vs Burst mood with 999 pictures in about a minute is something very different and amazing too.

There are moments when Burst comes in handy and I know because I used it.

It is the owners choice if they want to put the camera in burst mode long enough to fill up the memory. Typically, there is a buffer that gets filled and burst shots stop until the buffer gets cleared (written to storage). Sony seems to have found a way to immediately write to storage from the sensor (or, they have really fast buffer clearance). Either way, with open-ended burst mode, the chance of missing a keeper shot (like a surfer catching a wave at its peak break) is significantly reduced.

these statistics show it battery life at the highest rate of usage and while the screen is at its brightest condition. so, the result is not too bad. and don't forget about stamina mode. we can't judge till the real review of it.

Well fundamentally i do not see the difference, except for the resolution. Even tho 720p is a decent photo in itself, i made the joke cos i see no point in this feature..
Plus you can capture any of 30fps so what exactly is the difference?

Not only Sony Xperia Z has Burst Mode, there is and was before other phones which has Burst Mode feature also, the difference is that Sony Xperia Z does more photos through shorter time. So don't need to say that Sony made useless feature...

Not much practical use but nice trick though. Too bad its so expensive and big. My hands aint gonna stretch. How i wish oems would consider packing this specs on a smaller phone.. Like 4 to 4.5 sounds good.

Is this a innovation,,, just copy paste trick.. take 999 picture per min by moving a camera.. sony now a days u r fooling us by showing this stupid kind of things.. go and refer nokia for the term innovation.. wait for the pureview 41 mpx wp that will pee on your xperia z

"s this a innovation,,, just copy paste trick.. take 999 picture per min by moving a camera.. sony now a days u r fooling us by showing this stupid kind of things" really copy paste trick ?? which devices that can take 999 photos in 68 seconds?? "wait for the pureview 41 mpx wp " who needs that?? tell me one single use of 41mp on a phone ?? only that it give weight and damn thickness which it look so damn bulk ... if they just made a camera like Galaxy camera with wp os and no gsm would be better for them.. so stop telling jokes about your nokia :/

So nokia should just made a bigger, bulkier camera with no gsm radio, a smaller sensor, comparatively worse image quality to the 808, that is priced equally with other infinitely better cameras and they would have done better?

Sounds to me like no one would bat an eye lash if they did that. Also who needs 41mp? Well then who needs to take 999 shots of an object in a minute? Tel me one single use of taking 999 shots of an object ina minute. It only fills up your phonne with a lot junk pics that you then have to get rid of. Tell me which phone or point and shoot for that matter takes better pics than an 808?This argument irritates you doesn't it? Its because II like you just oversimplified the purpose of taking 999 shots per minute.

The Z's feature could be usefully for capturing fast moving objects and rapidly occurring actions. Like a race or something. Whatever the compromise in this feature maybe it makes up for it with its real world applications.

The 808's 41mp cam uses oversampling (not interpolation) to get extremely crisp and detailed lower res images as well as to near perfectly mirror optical zooming. As for the weight its lighter than the lumia 920 and its only the thinker than the 920 at the camera hump, but if you look at the capabilities of the camera on sites like this one or flikr where there are 10,000 808 pics you will see that the little camera hump is not much of a huge compromise any more. Besides the hump can be rendered non existent with a graphene sensor.

999 shots it's an extra option on a phone remember here we are talking about a phone so it should be light and slim .. not a damn heavy&bulky phone ... and saying i should look at 10k pictures on flicker that taken by 808's camera ?? why would i do that ?? no matter what the pictures are it won't be better then Canon&Nikon's dSLRs pictures ... so i'm asking you what's the point of pureview 808 as a whole and not only about camera ... as smartphone it's less then iphone or any android device also it got a dead OS ..so if you want all the featurs of a smartphone and you got Pureview 808 ..you will consider buying second hand smartphone either iPhone or Android ..so lets go to what i said before ... Nokia should just made Pureview 808 a digital Camera only like Samsung Galaxy Camera and also you would get Optical Zoom !! ... but as a Smartphone Pureview 808 is damn useless compare it to today's tech .

I think its pretty neat that it can shoot burst that fast...one question though.. Will the camera take good pictures or will the quality be sacrificed? Also can we stop bashing Nokia? At least they are combing two useful features...water proof is way more useful right? Still love Sony style though.. I think they make the best looking Android phones.

Forgot to laugh about the first line on this blog.. I would never forget about the Sony Z in the wake of any BB product. If the first Z10 is any indication of quality they are in trouble. They needed to come out with a phone that was better than the current phones in order to be competitive but that's not the case..

Boys, Boys, You're forgetting who the real enemy is, Apple! So put your knives away, Sony, Sammy, Moto, LG, HTC, they all push the bar in their own way, and give us what us Android lovers love, variety! I am personally pondering whether I should get the HTC One, for it's kickass screen and reasonable size, The Samsung Galaxy S IV for it's all around badassedness and feature packed Android flavor, The Moto X for its Moto radio, (rumored) Light or non existent skin, and Classic MOTO build quality. (I'm on Verizon so no Nexus, rightfully so Verizon would screw it up anyway, and LG and Sony don't make much for us) This is what makes Android awesome so forget your squabbles and focus on the Enemy, the one that sues and tries to take our beautiful variety away from us, the one that tries to make the whole phonescape as bleak and drab as its bland cookie cutter products; APPLE!!!
